With a warm and gracious smile, Barbara began, Fiona, let me introduce you to
lefore she could finish, Chloe stepped forward, extending her hand towards Fiona. “Hello, Miss
Fiona, it’s an honor to be invited to your birthday party I’s nice to meet you, I’m Chice, happy
birthday.”
rom the beginning. Fiona had been observing Chloe, and her behavior, from directly engaging with
her to ignoring Barbara and initiating the conversation, left her with a positive first impression of this
woman.
Especially inparison to the superficial peacock that was Barbara, it was like night and day.
Though it was her first time attending the Dubo family’s event as a royal princess, her attire was
simple yet elegant, disying grace without being Istentatious Her demeanor was modest and
courteous, not aiming to steal the spotlight or exude arrogance. Inparison to everyone else
there: she stood out in a positive and admirable way
Fiona, who had been sickened by Barbara and Becky’s nauseating disy, finally cracked a smile
for the first time that evening as she extended her hand o grasp Chloe’s. She responded cheerfully,
“Thank you for epting my invitation, Your Highness”
Chloe smiled at Fiona, a look of understanding shing in her eyes. Fiona raised her eyebrows, and
the two shared a knowingugh.
Barbara was seething at Chloe’s dismissal and Fiona’s friendly demeanor. From the very beginning,
even after she presented her extravagant gift, Fiona had not once smiled or thanked her, let alone
addressed her as princess. However, this woman had just arrived, and with a few insincere words,
hadpletely changed Fiona’s demeanor
She just openly addressed Chloe as Princess‘, and what did that make her?
Fiona’s gaze took in Chloe again, “Your dress is lovely. What brand is it? I’ll buy one too.”
The crowd fell silent
Chloe smiled, “I have many more like it in my closet If you don’t mind, you cane over sometime
and see if there’s anything you like, I’ll give it to you
Fiona’s eyes lit up. “You have many dresses like this in your closet?”
“Yes, quite a few
At first, Fiona had suspected that Chloe’s understated and overly loose dress was a deliberate ploy,
a different strategy. But now, since she had many such dresses in her closet, it was clear that she
liked this style of dress
Fiona had always struggled with her weight, and had tried dieting, but the process was too painful.
Her grandfather spoiled her, so she didn’t stick to it. and luckily, she didn’t gain more weight
However, choosing clothes was her daily torment. Especially when she saw all the other women in
their sleek, fitted gowns today, she had toVINCE herself not to care
Who knew that Chice would suddenly appear, her loose dress exuding a unique charm
Fiona’s smile deepened. “Okay, I don’t have much to do every day, so I’lle to you tomorrow. Or
you can stay with me tonight, and we can go together jomorrow?
With that she reached out and took Chloe’s wrist. This move shocked everyone
Everyone else wanted to get closer to Fiona, but Fiona seemed to have a strong guard up and a
vtile temper Known for her explosive temper and violent tendencies, she didn’t care about
anyone else Even Barbara and Becky, the two princesses, were treated the same. Now, however,
she was showing a particr fondness for the new princess
It was unbelievable.
What kind of magic did this woman have to win over this witch who gave everyone a headache with
just a few words?
Chloe shook her head at Fiona’s suggestion, “I’m afraid that won’t be possible”
“Why not?” Fiona frowned in dissatisfaction
The crowd was gleeful, publicly rejecting Miss Fiona was indeed ungrateful. Chloe helplessly looked
in the direction where Damon was standing, leaned
in close to Fiona and whispered: “He’s a bit difficult.”
Fiona turned to look and instantly understood. Then she gave Chloe a suggestive look.
“So clingy?”
Chloe simply smiled.
“Well, I won’t force you then.”
The crowd was left speechless. Who could tell them what was going on in Fiona’s head? She
disdained the ttery and brown–nosing of others, but was won over by a few insincere words.
Being rejected in public was a joyride now, was it?
Good heavens
From the beginning, Barbara felt utterly disregarded by the duo, a burning resentment simmering
within her. And they just wouldn’t quit
Looking at the gift box Chloe cradled in one arm, a smirk flickered in Barbara’s eyes. She then
stepped forward and chimed in: “Fiona, Chloe, could you spare a moment from your little tête–à–
tête? Aren’t your arms tired from hefting that colossal gift box?”
“Chloe, it’s your first time celebrating Fiona’s birthday, isn’t it? I wonder if you’ve prepared a unique
gift for her?”
